TotallyObsessive:I was reading some short stories the other day and decided to I wanted to write a short story of my own, having started a conversation of books I liked I came across an old one called Aesop's Fables; you know all those stories with thye morals at the end? Well wouldn't all kids need to learn these at some point? And so the cast of Naruto will be acting out these education tales in their own way. Enjoy. (Characters and who they are playing will be cleared up at the end. Also, characters may not nessicarily match the gender of the character they are playing)

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Aesop's fables in anyway shape or form.

Oh and one last thing: "Blah" is regular talking outside the fable"Blah" is the Narration of the story 'Blah' is the characters talking in the story and ::Blah:: is the Characters inner thoughts.

Naruto's Fables

Chapter One

The Eagle and the Fox

"An Eagle and a Fox had long lived together as good nieghb-" A brown Eagle with pale white eyes sat atop a tree branch, interrupting the narrator with a harsh scoffing noise. One of the little birds with two buns on her head sighed.

"Neji, your ruining the story. Just go along with it, ok?" The big bird glared at the snickering blonde 'fox' below but quickly shut his 'beak'. The silver haired narrator gave a quick cough before continuing with the story.

"As good neighbors, the Eagle at the top of a high tree and the Fox in a hole at the foot of it. One day however, while the Fox was away, the Eagle, seeking a tender morsel for her nest full of young ones, swooped down upon the Fox's cub and carried it away to her nest." The big bird obviously attached to strings 'soared' down from his cardboard cut out of atree and grabbed, with what appeared much delight, a shy little fox with white eyes to match his own. With a bit of difficulty the Eagle turned around and slowly made it's way back to it's nest where a loud

"YOSH! NEJI, USE THE POWER OF YOUTH!" could be heard and the slight

"Shhh, Lee…" coming immediately after.

"The Fox, on her return home," The Fox who had previously exited appeared trotting back over to the tree, causing the white eyed foxes eyes to once again be filled with joy. "Scorned the Eagle for Her breach of Friendship, and pleaded with the Eagle to return the cub back to her Den." Some People in the almost empty audience chairs smirked to themselves thinking the exact same thing.

::Naruto would never, ever do that, ever. He would give up ramen before that happened… ok MAYBE give up ramen before tha… no never mind:: Scary…

"But the Eagle, Feeling sure her own home high up in their tree top nest were safe from any possible revenge, ignored the pleas of the cub's mother"

::Oh no I gotta' hurry if I want to save Hinata! I mean my cub!:: Naruto thought to himself as he rushed off the stage as fast as he could in his itchy costume. He really got into this kind of thing you now.

"Quickly running to the place where she knew a great fire burned, the fox snatched a branch and hurried back to the tree." In reality, Naruto waddled over trying not to get the fire close to anything flammable, namely the floor.

"The mother Eagle, who was just on the point of tearing the cub to pieces to feed her babies, looked down and saw that the fox was going to set fire to the tree and burn it and her nest and eaglets to ashes. Reacting quickly she yelled down to the Fox," The unpunctual narrator paused as to let the mother Eagle speak her lines but they never came, ever one looked around in confusion as the narrator repeated himself.

"Ahem, Reacting quickly she yelled down to the Fox," Still no reply said. A red blush crept up on the mother Eagles face. Obviously not giving the Eagle enough time for her line, the narrator impatiently continued.

"I said, REACTING QUICKLY SHE-"

"I KNOW WHAT YOU SAID!" Screamed the 'Mother Eagle' hastily, neck snapping in the man direction. With a slight cough of embarrassment, as all eyes were on him, the white eyed boy continued with his lines in the best 'girly' voice he could muster.

'Hold on dear neighbor!'

"She screamed"

'Don't set fire to our tree. I'll bring your cub back safe and sound!' All the actors on the stage grouped together and looked at the audience the narrator spoke once more before the cast spoke together in a final bow.

"And the moral of this story is,"

'Do unto others as you would have other do unto you.' There was a low applause and a few 'get a jobs' but not anything from the young genin of Konoha that implied much affection. The fox let out a last grin as well as one of the eaglets that happened to have abnormally big eyebrows for an Eagle, before the whole cast went back stage.

"See Neji, it wasn't that bad, right?" Said boy glared at the Fox as he ripped off his feathery costume and stormed away. As this happened a girl with two buns giggled to her self. The white eyed fox cub smiled softly as well.

"We all know he secretly loved that." The first girl said before following after her team mate.

On the other side of the curtain a pamphlet for the event laid on the floor. The first page read in bold letter:
